Injuries in the maxillofacial region with knife in situ are not common. We report a rare case with knife impacted in the orbit, maxilla and soft palate. Removal was possible only by surgical intervention. Despite the deep penetration, the knife had not injured major structures and hence there was no untoward complication in the outcome.
